Laravel3: Variables that has to be set forever

Question

<meta name="description" content="{{ $description }}" />

It is a variable stored in a custom.config.php. That file can be anywhere. (I'm new to Laravel)

How can I ensure Laravel runs it each time? I'm not going to use ->with('description', $description'); every time I call a view.

Looking for something like: {{ Config::get('website_description') }}

You can add that variable to the before route filter:

Route::filter('before', function()
{
    //Do stuff before every request to your application...
    $website_description = Config::get('website_description');  
    View::share('website_description', $website_description);
});

You can then directly access that variable in your view.
